MANSFIELD, Ohio (AP) — Human remains found at several locations in northern Ohio over the weekend are believed to be those of one woman who was last seen in July, police said.

A release from the Mansfield Police Department says the Richland County coroner hadn't yet confirmed the identity of the remains found at different sites in the northern part of the county. But police believe they are those of Patsy Hudson, 62, of Mansfield.

Hudson was last seen in July and reported missing by her family in December, police said.

Investigators developed several leads in the last few days that led to the recovery of the remains, according to police. Law enforcement officers searched at least three northern Richland County locations Saturday night and Sunday looking for Hudson's body.

The Mansfield News Journal reports that police have said that two people wanted for questioning in Hudson's disappearance were arrested last week in Tennessee by federal agents on outstanding warrants.

Police Chief Kenneth Coontz told the newspaper that Hudson's credit card has been active for several months even though she has not been seen since July 4.

Police did not respond to requests for more information on Monday.
